I am not nearly concerned with what I am called, just that I am paid by clients in a timely manner and the check clears and that I continue to have clients...
Gary; I do not agree. Sure some days are better and some not so much, however, I am happy to do what I do. See your \'smiley\', perhaps a bit of tongue in cheek?
No, actually that\'s how I feel. No matter what it is, it takes a little fun out of it when you have to please other people instead of just pleasing yourself. Not to mention all of the considerations of operating any business or working for any company that has nothing to do with photography. I do realize that there is a certain satisfaction when others are pleased with your work. But, for me, photography is much more enjoyable as a hobby, not as a profession.
The smily face was meant to indicate that I wasn\'t being critical of anyone who has chosen photography as a profession. We all have to do something for a living and I certainly respect all working photographers.
